Gorgeous tank transporter. As I said before, I could not tell the scale, your build and paint job makes it look a lot bigger.

Thanks PGAS, I will do some finishing touches to the Scammell as soon as the Matchbox GB is finished and I return from sunny Cuba at the beginning of March.

Re: TeeELLs kitchen crafting kit creations
Following my return from holiday I spent some time finishing the Meteor NF11 and, since then, I have been continuing with the demo build of the Airfix 'Mk1' tank. I had forgotten just how much additional detail was required. I also positioned the 'male' gun shield/turrets in the correct place which meant work to fill the subsequent gaps!
I need to get things done on the Scammel but other events keep demanding my attention. There is a competition with a set model (Airfix JP3) so I am going to build that as the JP on which I flew my first 'jet' solo out of RAF Barkston Heath.

Re: TeeELLs kitchen crafting kit creations
What to say?? I am an adult helper with a youth organisation and the kids are going to be producing a diorama of a Great War scene. Whilst it will, most certainly, be all their own work, I have been doing some research for them and also practiced some painting of figures that I might produce a guide for them to follow. The diorama will be populated with a dozen of so British soldiers and a great deal more Germans. I think that a 'reasonable' representation for the figures will suffice and this is my 'effort'.
Trouble is, I didn't take a photographic record of the 'how' so I must tackle another and remember to keep my camera to hand!
Needless to say, a lot of the 'legs and feet' detail will be muddied for the diorama. (Quite how he has kept his boots so shiny I've no idea!!)
What else have I been up to - well I visited RAF Linton-on-Ouse last week and crawled all over the JP3A they have, unfortunately I only had my phone with me - but lots of detail shots taken for 'my' build of the RAF College Cranwell JP3 I flew first solo in.

Re: TeeELLs kitchen crafting kit creations
Great work with the figure painting Tony, not something I have any great experience in. Great to hear of the young 'uns doing something constructive like a spot of modelling rather than sitting in front of the screen of a computer game!
Doing - Tamiya 1/35th Universal Carrier.

Nice work on your figure. Did you prime or just go at it with the paint?

Re: TeeELLs kitchen crafting kit creations
Nigel,
Once the seam lines had been removed and the rifle and leg straightened, I used a standard grey car primer (straight from the rattle can). I am in the process of painting a couple more - this time trying to remember to photograph each stage so that the youngsters have a guide to follow, in case I am not there to supervise.

Re: TeeELLs kitchen crafting kit creations
I have started the Airfix 1/72 Gloster Javelin, it is quite a massive aircraft!! I do not plan to remove the raised panel lines and re-scribe because, if I did, I would never finish!! The aircraft will be finished as a 29(F) Sqn Javelin FAW 9R the aircraft which replaced their Meteor NF 11's.
A few photographs to show progress thus far:

Lovely looking office. I have one of these in the pile of shame that I should dig out.
It is a big one.
